Apartment Tour Anyone?!

Yay!! Apartment tour!!

A dark picture of our dining table

Love my dishwasher. Makes for a lazy nursing student

Overall a really great sized kitchen for the price

I had a picnic on this deck a few months ago. ...memories

Stephanie's uber comfy couch

My great grandma's rocker and lamp.

Our living room would look so bare without all of Steph's furniture

Our crazy linen closet. Name something
random and chances are it'll be in there.

Our bathroom looks like it's fit for a 4 year old.
Whatever, I think it's cute.

Huh. The sink actually looks clean. Amazing.

How cute is my room?

My study area

my prep area in the left corner

My personality corner

I love the size of my closet. Love it.

I made these drapes out of a shower curtain!

I spend most of my time in this corner of my house.

Well people, that's it! Of course, Stephanie has her room, and it's located in between the linen closet and the bathroom. It's a really great place, I kinda wish I could pick it up and move it to wherever I move after nursing school. Love how cozy the place is, though I would love to paint the walls and nix the dark wood everywhere. Eh, renter's can't be choosers.

Thanks for going on a tour with me, though really it was for me so I can reminisce in a few years once I've left Price in my dust.

Catch Up!

It's been a while since my last post!

Work has been good, but nothing special, which is probably why I haven't hopped on here to share any stories. I've been having spare shifts, which means I go to work without an assignment, and step in when a scheduled performer can't make it to their shift.  I've been doing character dining almost every morning at 6 am. So that means I'm going to bed early, so I can wake up at 4:15 am to get on a bus at 4:59. Early mornings for sure.

I got my second rejection from a nursing school. DATC said no on Saturday last.

So now I wait for CEU and Snow's decisions.

It sucks.

And Then, Reality Slaps You In The Face

Hello readers.

Have you ever read my about me info box?
It's located right there --------------->

Anyway.

I got my third nursing school rejection today.

You would think after a few times it stings less. Let me tell you, friends. It just keeps on stinging.

Finals are Over!

Glory, glory hallelujah!  Glory, glory hallelujah!

When I walked out of that classroom today, and heard that big heavy door slam shut behind me, I just had to sigh with relief.

I am done with school for the next 6 months.  And hopefully, I'll be starting nursing school then.

I felt so confident about both tests. It is such a good feeling!  Knowing I put it all out there and tried my absolute best leaves me with a good feeling in the pit of my stomach. That stupid worried knot has officially gone and now I can focus on the other super important things that need to be done in the next 26 days.

Now... on to nursing applications!  Boy there are many.  USU is my #1 pick for school, but all the other applications I'm doing are equally important. Applications are going to Snow, DATC, CEU, Dixie, of course USU, and possibly BATC and Westminster (though I know very, very well I do not have that kind of money).

I have USU, DATC and Snow's applications already. Dixie and CEU's come out January 1st.
Now that finals are over, I can start writing essays for each application and get my transcripts sent over.

When my mom came to pick me up today after my final, something was said along the lines of "now you can relax." I laughed.  I have a lot to do in the next 26 days. Today I will relax. Tomorrow the work begins.

Loves to you all

Yuck

Doesn't that look awful?
It looks awful to me... even though it's worth 10 extra credit points in a class that could desperately use it.
Luckily, it wasn't very difficult to memorize. The big Y thing will be provided for me, thank heavens.

I'm so tired of this teacher located in the bottom right corner. She's impossible to study for. She gives us study guides and doesn't use a single word from them on the actual tests.  She's nit picky on the memorized portions of the tests.  It's just so difficult to deal with her.
Not to mention she cackles. All class long.

I wish in nursing applications, they let us rate the clarity of our teachers. Then maybe the B- I'm sure I'll get will make more sense to the selection committee.
This class makes me so excited for January, when I can escape school and have a ball in Florida.  Then, when that adventure ends, hopefully I'll be starting up nursing school.

Seriously, can it be January already?
